Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens is the only National Park dedicated to the preservation of aquatic plants.

There are many different kinds of aquatic plants to see through out the year! In the spring, the water lilies will start to bloom and the plants in the marsh will start to sprout. In early summer, the lotus flowers emerge and the pickerel weed flowers. In the winter, bald cyprus loose their neetles and catail flush peaks through the marsh.
